Opera developer 48.0.2664.0 appears to be the first version of the popular and free web browser to add a new camera icon to the sidebar, making easier for users to snap an image of the coolest parts, or even an entire web page. Opera is the third web browser we know to offer a screenshot utility, after Vivaldi and Firefox. Opera has named the new screen capture utility as “Snap,” and users will be able to use it with a single mouse click, as well as to freely configure which tools are visible on the sidebar. Screenshots will be saved to a location of your choice on the local system or the clipboard if you want to paste it in another app.
